What to do and see in Colorado, United States: The Best Tramways
Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

When the trolley is running, it's a fun outing for kids and adults alike, especially if you are interested in transportation history.
2. Telluride Mountain Village Gondola
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,916 reviews
One of the most unique forms of public transportation connects Mountain Village to Telluride offering stunning 360-degree views of the San Juan Mountains that extend as far away as Utah. The gondola, the first and only free public transportation of its kind in the United States opened in 1996 and was initially built to help improve air quality while expanding the ski area. It is entirely free to commuters and sightseers. Since then, it has become a popular attraction for residents and visitors alike, giving them a stunning ride that caps out at 10,540 feet above sea level. Approximately 3 million passenger rides annually – and safely – and more than 50 million passenger trips have been provided since opening day. The gondola operates roughly 287 days each year with routine maintenance scheduled during our shoulder season months. It takes about 12 minutes to get from the Town of Telluride to Mountain Village Village. It takes 3 minutes from Mountain Village Center to Market Plaza.

Terrific way to get up and own the mountain for various activities. Whether going mid-mountain for coffee or all the way down for Telluride activities. Stayed at the top at Mountain Lodge and this was a terrific mode of transportation during our weeklong stay. Whether going out for drinks, food or hiking.

For great views of the surrounding area, hop aboard this popular gondola that takes 18 minutes to get to the top of Aspen Mountain.

Even though the price is a bit high- it's a really long gondola ride- went way further than I thought- so you get pretty good bag for your buck. At times the wind caused our gondola to sway from side to side which was a bit exciting/scary. Good social distancing practiced. Views from the top are actually perhaps not quite as dramatic as you would think given how high and long the ride to the top is- but there is lots of space and places to sit and drink. Well worth the money and time.

One of our favorite places to see all around Estes Park -- well worth the price, standing in lines, etc., and once you get to the top, you can relax, buy food/drink, or bag of peanuts to feed the zillions of chipmunks!!! Lots of boulders, to climb on, if you have kids with you! Lovely gift shop, too, with wide variety of souvenirs/shirts, etc.

After visiting the farmers market Sunday afternoon, we decided to take the gondola ride up the mountain. It was a reasonably quick ride, with amazing panoramic views of the mountains and surrounding area. Once we got to the top, we hopped off to do a little hiking and take some prime photos. We spoke with a guide about the ski slopes - they looked like they were intended for hardcore skiers. If in the area, do check this out. Budget extra time for the hiking - wear good shoes and bring water and hiking sticks.
